What you need to know:

  • City Stars, who lost their last weekend league game 4-2 to Vihiga Bullets, will be at Kasarani on Saturday where they will face former champions Sofapaka from 1pm.
  • They sit 17th on the 18 team table with a paltry two points.

Nairobi City Stars teenager defender Elly Kessy Osotsi is over the moon after making his debut in the Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKF-PL) eight days ago.

Twenty-year old Osotsi made his maiden appearance when Simba wa Nairobi played 12 time champions AFC Leopards on January 4 at Moi International Sport Center Kasarani. 

City Stars, who are yet to win a match this season, lost the game by a solitary goal.

Osotsi clocked 38 minutes in the contest attended by hundreds of Leopards fans.

“The debut came with lots of pressure. But I chose to look at the milestones achieved while taking home important lessons,” said Osotsi, who paved way for Roney Kola.

“Earning a first Premier league game, making the starting lineup and playing in Kasarani against a famed Leopards side are all highlights achieved in one day,” added Osotsi.

City Stars, who lost their last weekend league game 4-2 to Vihiga Bullets, will be at Kasarani on Saturday where they will face former champions Sofapaka from 1pm.

They sit 17th on the 18 team table with a paltry two points.
